Excellent job documenting it. If this happens again, you can always reference what happened in the past.
I'll finalize the documentation with HR once I hear his side of the story.

His previous supervisor gave him a verbal warning for the same stunt in March and also documented it and sent me a copy so I'll be including that with my report.

I hate this part of being the boss. All he had to do was call me and tell me he's got two hookers tied up in his basement or any other crazy story and I would have covered for him.

Worst part, is the rest of my team is all wondering what the hell is going on with him. He's increasing their workload

Just came back from the E.R. My daughter was jumping on the couches, fell and hit her head on the heater (one of those old wall units... so tougher than the flimsy ones they make today, possibly cast iron, but not one of those old stand-up radiators either). Sliced her head open. Brian met me at the E.R. (which, the lot was full so I had to walk from one side of the hospital to another, upstairs, with a 25 lb kid on my back and a 50 lb kid in my arms). Even though she's supposed to be on "fast track", I spent over 1 hr there and she was still in the waiting room when I left. Our son was getting too rambunctious so Brian sent me home with him. :( She's being very brave. I just feel bad that she'll be getting stitches shortly.

Hope she's feeling better. I remember the first time I got stitches....:???:

Yikes! No fun there. Hope she's not there too long.

In alot of situations nowadays, how they go about closing stitchable wounds in pediatric patients is WAY different than when most of us was kids. Often nowadays, if the cut isn't too long, and the edges go back together relatively smoothly, no sewing is done, but a glorified super glue is applied and then some butterfly bandages are placed. Anesthesia wise, instead of a needle, an anesthetic cream/gel is applied to the site which does a great job of numbing the area in about 10-15 minutes without a shot! *Most* of the time, the entire experience tends to be much tougher on Mom + Dad then the kid, I know it sure was when my daughter got "attacked" by the reindeer shaped weight that was holding her christmas stocking up on the mantle 2 christmases ago when she went to grab her stocking christmas morning :eek:

They tried applying some numbing agent to the scene that we had to hold on there for 30 minutes, which didn't work well enough... So they went with a few shots too. The shots were the only thing that she really cried for.

You? Naw.... ;)

Yup she's chattering and acting like nothing happened. She did say the doctor hurt her, but otherwise, I didn't see her cry. After she fell on her head, I heard her call out, but then she told me she was just going to take a rest on the couch. She falls all the time so I didn't think anything of it...until I saw the blood on the couch. :eek: She was so stoic the whole time I was with her! Surprisingly, I was, too, and I'm squeamish about blood. :eek:
